Premium Cat Condo with Scratching Posts & Lounge - Beige Cat Tree for Indoor Cats - Perfect for Play, Scratch & Nap in Living Room or Bedroom

NOTE: Dated October 23, 2015: They finally changed the picture representing the tower!!! I have to admit my cat is in love with this & spends hours on it looking out the window & even enjoys sleeping & relaxing in BOTH the curved perches below during the afternoon nap time--on the living room window perch which is now pulled a bit away from the window because the heat is on. She has one in the bedroom that is permanently right up against the window & the living room one is pulled back from the window when heat needs to be turned on & lately I have found her each afternoon when I am home Friday thru Sunday relaxing & sleeping on the curved perches--she is slightly over 8 lbs & fits comfortably in the curved perches. On the bedroom one I added a carpet on top that seems to help, but there is room to sleep on top. I purchased two of these for my kitty's window perches. My review was from an earlier photo & purchase.I use this cat furniture in front of her favorite window. What I love about it is that it is window height, very sturdy & has lush carpeting--carpeting underneath the perches as well. I was however, DISAPPOINTED (grrr) because there is a substantial cutout indentation on the top shelf that is not perfectly clear in the photo--(the photo is very deceiving)--(I am adding this note dated March 27, 2015--the previous picture was deceiving but I NOW see a very clear honest picture today so I need to edit this review). This is done to enable the cat to climb easily from the middle perch to the top, but it is large enough (approx a full 7 inches!) to take away an area that would have allowed for full sleeping because the top perch is large without the cutout. With cutout it is smaller. Too bad. What I like about it is that the sides of the top perch are low enough for my kitty to comfortably overlap her paws. She demands this & wouldn't have it any other way. There is room for her to rest comfortably & watch outside the window. The top shelf does not allow for her to curl up and nap as she is used to on her other luxury cat trees with extra large perches. It is very sturdy & won't topple. Even though there is a cutout, I will purchase this again if necessary. I only hope the manufacturer would make the exact same model at window height without the top cutout because my cat enjoys sleeping in her cat trees with a 20 inch width and enjoys spending lounge time in front of the window. Hint hint manufacturer! (20" X 20" top perch would be a dream come true for my kitty and me. I'll be waiting.) I am giving this 4 stars instead of 5 only for the photo deception.Note added November 6, 2012. In spite of the cut-out, I don't believe you will find a better window-height cat furniture. I have heat under the picture window, so I needed something away from the heat for the winter months, which I bought. I have this in my cart for next summer. All is very sturdy and wrapped in plush carpeting. All in all, it is worth it.Note Jan. 21, 2014: this past weekend I found my kitty napping on the top portion! There IS room for a medium sized cat to sleep in spite of the cut-out, but you won't find a better window perch. This is an ideal WINDOW perch.
